Kind of want to get more of Kenzotul's back story at some point. Some sort of spy or behind-enemy-lines operator? Saboteur? He clearly did a lot he regrets, and knows a surprising amount about the sabotage game

Nim

yeah, a few address it but not to the extent it deserves. Maybe that's a big contributor to the sheer suckage of this world (a lot of other things may be factors, too).

well, we don't really know a lot about dip; is Rob painting a generic system skill with his own delusions/hallucinations? Is the personality that formed one that formed in Rob's own wetware after the trauma (human brains do all sorts of strange adaptive stuff). Is it an AI hosted in the system speaking to rob telepathically? I have a fair amount of antipathy towards the system (and whoever is fucking w/ the MC, which may not be the same), but there's a lot we don't know (including "why", which can radically change how one views things). Plus, unlike the silent mental "skills" (system implemented mind altering), Dip actually talks to him, offers suggestions, but lets him chose. That's more like a familiar or a friend than a mind-controlling parasite. The ones that are less up front offend me a lot more, currently.

How medieval are the societies in Elatra though? Obviously their not on the level Earth, but I mean like if other places have more complicated machines like the dwarves from Skyrim?

Nice tying up some threads there. Also I feel worse for poor Kenzotul. Medevial-ish societies' torture and execution methods could be pretty brutal.

So he is the average politician then.

Man i love how this story points out the incredible flaw with having the guy who basically committed the most murder be the leader. Most litrpg kinda gloss over that concept.

NeWorlDark

Oh man, i fucking hate this. Would have been so happy for dip to go to the farm. Really hope that dip never fucking speaks again.

Zawan

Get fucked Sylpeiros. His only outstanding morals or principles are flawed and rotten to begin with. And he sacrificed them without hesitation. I Feel like elf society needs to finish collapsing before anything worthwhile can be wretched out of it and reforged. Man I love this story

And all in the space of one conversation!

Hmm, I can't help but think Reviton may have faired better if The Village still existed. i.e. a buffer against the blight. But I guess that wouldn't be a popular opinion with them atm ;D

I also love how Rob is so understanding and patient with diplomacy, it's so ironic for the human to be calming down his own diplomacy skill in a tense situation, yet so fitting. I'm looking forward to more commentary from it (hope it gets a name or a nickname), and I'm very excited for the mystery behind it coming to life as well.

I love how the guy turns from "Human must die, and traitors will suffer" to "I'll need to do this gently to not suffer PR disaster" to "We need the Human to work for us by any means necessary!".

Faiir

Nope, thanks for the catch!

KamikazePotato

I assume you didn't mean to repeat: "Like my own personal boot camp sergeant."

Some intresting developments, although I do still wonder what the Seneshcal would have done about Rob if the Dragon Queen never found out.

Nathan Linder

Damn, Rob has so many people in his corner now, and yet he's also gaining so many enemies, it feels like just yesterday when he was just shunned in the village with only Keira as a friend.
